I just got off the phone with SFC Gaines about haveing soldiers spen thanksgiving with some of the families here. She is going to give me a list of how many she has. I'm looking for volunteer to take these soldiers into your home for Thanksgiving. Please post up if you are able to have a place for them.



These soldiers are far away from home and sure could use some good home cooking! Let's show them the love and gratitude that they so deserve.

I used to do that when I lived in SA. It was great. Always alot of fun.

Awesome!

Any more information on this? I planned on watching the thread to see what the details were. Our Thanksgiving plans are still being formalized, but I was curious if anything more was discussed about the Soldiers?

Sign us up for one soldier!!

We're doing this already. Have two coming out to the house to spend it with our family.

We got a confirmation on Wed. Picking them up at Lackland Thanksgiving morning...... Maybe they just don't want You having them over!!


Just messing with ya!

who did you contact. EVERYONE i talked to says, "oh yea that would be great, let me get the information and I will call you back" Then I don't hear crap from them. I call back and leave messages and I still have yet to have someone return a call. My supervisor there at Lackland was the one that told me they might be stopping it.

Just went to the site. http://www.lackland.af.mil/homecook/index.asp
and called the numbers from there. Jen's parents used to do this in Chicago and she has been looking forward to doing it here and my parents did this way back also.

We have two soldiers coming to eat turkey with us !!! Yea

We had a great time with our soldiers, I encourage everyone to do this. They were sooooo grateful. One soldiers mom was crying so hard when he called her from our phone she had to pass it to his sister. None of their families were expecting to hear from them yesterday, they do not have access to phones, TV, books, magazines...nothing
